Does anyone know the number of 1980 Road Runners that were made with a T-top? White Book says 496 Road Runners (A57) and 140 T-top (M55), but does anyone know the number produced that had both options?

It cannot be known. Chrysler only recorded individual options and the records were lost in a fire. So now there's nothing to recompile into combinations. Even Govier's shipping records are reported to be incomplete. So no. Nobody knows. And anyone who says they do is a liar. Like those online broadcast sheet decoders that give people false hopes and ideas about their particular car being super special in a combination of four or more options.

There are no records as to what you are looking for, only total production over the year.

I would venture to guess that most of the T-top cars were Road Runners and R/T's (but not all).

The “496 Road Runners (A57) and 140 T-top (M55)” figure seams really really low (for both).

Good post. Ive been trying to figure this out as well. I believe towards the end of the 1980 F body platform, Chrysler assembled a few oddball coupes. I own a 1980 Plymouth Volare 2dr, with factory console , bucket seats, three spoke steering wheel, dual sport mirrors, rally colored wheels and tire package, opera windows with vinyl top, , no ac, 1 bbl slant six motor with auto transmission, ps, pb, 7.25 axle. Real wierd, but shes clean and she runs.
